K/mentertainer August 3, 1962

#1 Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow-Rivingtons New this weekGreen Onions-Booker T & The MGsTeen-Age Idol-Rick NelsonSoftly As I Leave You-Matt Monro(e) This song didn't hit the national charts until 1964, and at that time it was by Frank Sinatra, but the Matt Monro version played as an oldie regularly until about 1968 in San Bernardino, I never did hear the Sinatra version on the radio.

If you notice the blurb at the end of the survey August 3, 1962 was the date of the first K/men San Bernardio-Riverside Walk Back and Forth

About Me

Until the year 1966 my main interests were reading and collecting comic books (Superman in particular)Then I started listening to the radio here in San Bernardino. I listened to KFXM and KMEN and a new hobby started. Not just listening to the radio, but getting involved by wondering what new song was coming out, talking to the DJs, winning contests and of course collecting records and just loving the music I heard on the radio along with the radio station and DJ's. This became a big interest in my life. Now 40 years later, it's not much different.
